I jjave had a few questions about my GRIFFIN family, here is the information that I have collected in my database. I have my family in Union Co. NC, I think James Pleasant Griffin (buried at Travis Chapel) was one of the first to come to Weakley Co. Soon followed by my Great Grandfather William E. Griffin (buried in Woodlawn Cemetery). My father James M. Griffin (known as a kid as "BB") was raised in Sharon and my mother Doris Louise Cooper in Dresden. I have had a lot of people help me find information on my genealogical journey which started about 1995 when I was assigned in the Pentagon. I can tell that I am hooked!
Best,
Jim Griffin
